I just barely learned this from a library book I checked out (Symbols in Stone: Symbolism on the Early Temples of the Restoration, by Paul Thomas Smith and Matthew B. Brown). I found a picture of the sunstones and counted, and they actually have 40 raysAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932007810121025150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171745807603645949.post-52182804909776932482012-04-05T12:06:21.234-06:002012-04-05T12:06:21.234-06:00A non-member friend has asked a question I cannot ...A non-member friend has asked a question I cannot answer, perhaps you can. He was visiting temple square and was standing with his back to the Tabernacle looking at the Salt Lake Temple. He saw the words "I am Alpha and Omega" and also a black star. He was curious and now so am I. Has your research covered this on the Salt Lake Temple.
